“How pitiful…”
When Diya acted out the content of the conversation, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the "silly woman": "Why did such an infatuated woman meet a man who didn't love her and even wanted to use her?"
"How pathetic." Although Sonia felt sympathy, she was more angry and sad for her lack of fighting spirit: "Since she can fight alongside you, the witch, it means she is quite capable. Why does she have to tie herself to someone? Can't she survive without relying on something? Is there no hope if you don't like something? Must she be so humble as to be reduced to dust!?"
"Sword Princess." Ash signaled Sonia to pay attention to her emotions: "Not everyone is as strong as you. You are too strong."
"I'm not strong, I'm just a weak girl dominated by you." Sonia was still rubbing his calves with her black silk feet: "And what kind of strong person is a two-winged magician--"
"When I say strong, I don't mean in terms of strength." Ash said, "Not only Sword Princess, but you too, Witch. You are all 'strong' in the sense of life - you can enjoy every dish that fate has prepared for you."
“Maybe you don’t think this is something to be proud of, but life is like a buffet, not everyone can eat all the way through.”
"I know two people. One of them had a very bad meal, so he added sugar and spiciness to all his food from then on. He completely gave up tasting the taste of food and numbed his taste buds with stimulation, just waiting for himself to be choked to death by the spiciness one day. The other one had never eaten shit, but he found that the restaurant environment was like a toilet, so he stopped enjoying food and instead studied how to add shit to other people's food. Only in this way could he enjoy the joy of life."
"There are a lot of people who are just giving up on themselves, living in a daze, or even taking their own lives early because they've eaten a few shitty dishes at a buffet and they don't want to eat anymore. You ask them to keep living their lives, and their reaction is, 'What, you want me to keep eating shit?'"
"This may be the case for the 'she' in this conversation. 'She' may not want to continue eating this buffet, perhaps because it tastes bad, or because the environment is bad... Just when 'she' was about to leave, someone suddenly pulled 'her' back. 'She' found that as long as she was with this person, no matter what food she ate, it would taste delicious, and no matter what environment she was in, she would feel comfortable."
"'She' is indeed not as brave as you, but this situation that makes you feel uncomfortable may be the best situation that 'she' can achieve."
"Of course." Ash paused and said, "The person who took advantage of her is indeed irretrievable scum of the world."
“That’s right!”
“Second!”
Although they had different opinions on the "silly woman", the three of them undoubtedly reached a unanimous consensus on the "master": this scumbag who took advantage of the girl's infatuation should be chopped into pieces and fed to Lala to fatten her!
Diya even thought about it. If she really met the "silly woman" in the conversation in the future, she would definitely find ways to help the "silly woman" escape from the suffering and get rid of the control of the scumbag.
Although the witch sisters are not very good at persuading people, if it is mind control, she can ask Aunt Borgin for help; if it is just pure infatuation, that is when Ash appears - Diya doesn't know how Ash will solve it, but she believes that Ash will definitely be as indignant as she is, and will find a way to save this "stupid woman".
"Since it's not the 'world', then 'her' master is a god?" Sonia guessed, "Or is it that the topic of the witch and I are actually unrelated? The target of our revenge is not the master of the 'silly woman'?"
"There are too few clues, we can only guess." Yaxiu said: "But even if it is the Lord God, it is not surprising. Maybe the Lord God sent an avatar to the mortal world to deceive people, or maybe the Lord God fell due to some circumstances and can only slowly recover his strength. On the way, he used his own charm to turn various people into his loyal subordinates..."
As he was talking, Ash noticed that Sword Lady and Witch were looking at him with subtle eyes. He coughed and said, "Let's not talk about whether I am the Lord of God or not, but the question is, are you loyal?"
Diya looked at Sonia, who stuck out her pink tongue and said, "I'm not unreasonable. I admit that being rich has its reasons, so I will pay you back as much as you give me. If you want me to be loyal to you wholeheartedly, you have to give me everything first."
"Look," Ash shrugged, "My personality is so poor, how can I have such loyal subordinates? Besides, in real life, I am... well, let's get back to the topic."
Just as Yaxiu was about to talk about something in real life, Annan's information restriction agreement immediately shut him up. He couldn't even complain that he was just an employee.
Diya nodded and asked, "So which of these four answers should I choose?"
"First of all, it can't be "① violently kidnapping the witch." Sonia analyzed: "It's obvious that 'she' and the witch had a good relationship, and the 'master' promised not to harm the witch, so 'she' came to capture the witch, so 'she' can't use violence."
"② Persuade the witch" is impossible. Ash said, "From the tone of voice, we can tell that the witch has a deep hatred for them and will not be persuaded by a few soft words. "③ Set a trap to trap the witch" is also wrong. If there was a trap, the witch would have been caught long ago."
"So it must be "④Visiting the Witch." Sonia said very confidently: "'She' doesn't want to catch the witch, she just uses this as an excuse to meet the witch and apologize. If she can complete the task, that would be the best, but even if she can't, 'she' has achieved her goal."
Their analysis was exactly the same as that of the sisters, so Diya put on her headphones and filled in the answers. Xujing immediately marked her test paper:
"You answered incorrectly. The fate answer is over. You can start asking questions now."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked - how could it be wrong?
"Let me sort out the situation." Sonia frowned, and retracted her feet that were harassing Ash. She curled her toes and rubbed them unconsciously: "② is absolutely impossible. If you want to persuade, you should at least tempt him with benefits, right? But 'she' only emphasized that she would not harm the witch or win over the relationship. How can this be considered a lobbyist?"
"Could it be ①? It's possible. 'She' said that the original plan was for 'she' and 'the master' to catch the witch together, so violent means should be part of the plan."
"I think it should be ③." Ash suddenly said.
"Trap?" Diya was startled: "But if it is a trap——"
"Do you remember the last part of the conversation?" Ash said, "'She' wanted to braid the witch's hair."
"If 'she' is familiar with me, this is normal behavior." Diya said: "I am not good at taking care of my hair, I always let others braid it for me."
"But when she braided your hair, you were completely defenseless." Sonia murmured, "Your back of the neck was also in her hands. The back of the neck is related to the nerve center. If she has the means to restrain you, then you have completely stepped into the trap."
"But, but..." Diya was so anxious that she kept making excuses: "This is too coincidental. She and I were originally enemies. If she had the ability to touch the back of my neck, I would have been caught by her regardless of this trap!"
Ash said: "'She' probably doesn't have the ability to catch you, so she has to rely on building a relationship with you so that you can let down your guard or even expose the back of your neck."
"But I won't let my guard down!" Diya said, "From the conversation, I know that I became close to her because she saved me once during a chase. But how could she include the chase in her calculations—"
"Is it really impossible?" Sonia asked suddenly, "You were hunted but you managed to escape unscathed and even found a safe place to hide. Do you think your luck is too good?"
Diya was stunned and could no longer say anything to refute.
But she still didn't want to believe this possibility in her heart - Sword Lady and the spectators only listened to her retelling, but Diya heard her voice and tone with her own ears, and knew very well that her love for her was genuine, and she also knew that the future witch really liked and depended on her.
It would be so sad if all this was a false calculation.
"Perhaps 'she' really doesn't know." Ash suddenly said, "Even though she hasn't appeared, don't forget the existence of the 'master'. In the original plan, the 'master' should have appeared and captured the witches, but they were hunted down and seriously injured but there is still no trace of her."
Sonia snorted coldly: "Because the hunting team is too powerful, a coward like the 'master' who only knows how to use women would not dare to come out."
"But what if everything was planned by the 'master'?" Ash said, "The witch is not a weakling. Killing her and catching her are two completely different concepts. In order to catch her with 100% certainty, the 'master' attracted the pursuers and adjusted the intensity of the pursuit in secret, in order to create a stressful environment for the two people's feelings to heat up rapidly."
"The braiding is most likely a scene planned by the 'master'. Once they are safe, the 'silly woman' will definitely braid the witch's hair. Maybe it's a headband loaded with miracles, or maybe it's mind control. In any case, the 'silly woman' will catch the witch unknowingly."
"This is the only way to explain why the witch would let down her guard. Even if she let down her guard, her sisters must have been very cautious. Only when the 'silly woman' was completely unaware would the witch sisters be fooled."
Diya and Sonia both nodded in conviction, which could explain many coincidences and the witch's trust. Moreover, the idea that 'everything is the fault of that scumbag master' also met their emotional needs very well.
but……
"Viewer, how did you suddenly come up with this method?" Sonia asked curiously, "This sounds like a trick used by a psychic."
"Have you seen a similar plot in a fairy tale?" Diya guessed.
"Isn't this hard to imagine? Isn't it just a common conspiracy?" Ash looked confused. "Maybe I have a rich imagination. And in both conversations, the witch seemed fearless. I don't think she is afraid of being caught at all. So, thinking the other way around, if the 'master' wants to catch the witch, he can't use conventional means. The 'silly woman' who has a good relationship with the witch is obviously the best trap."
Although it sounds fine, it still feels weird that the audience can recreate the villain's thinking... But Sonia quickly forgot about it and looked at Ash with sparkling eyes: "What's your topic?"
Speaking of this, Ash's expression became strange. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me tell you the problem first."
“Question: Among these three people, who is the viewer’s closest friend?”
"①The first person; ②The second person; ③The third person; ④None"
Sonia's eyes lit up, and Diya also showed a curious look.
"Talking!"
Ash said: "The answer is ③, the third person."
"The key is the conversation! Future information is much more important than the reward for the fate quiz!" Sonia urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be shy like a little trumpet."
"I'm not shy." Ash spread his hands helplessly: "But the problem is——"
"There is no dialogue, only answers. My future self cheated."
